It should come as no surprise then that the Raiders have been floated as a potential landing spot for Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who requested to be dealt earlier this offseason as a result of his dissatisfaction with his contract situation.

The Las Vegas Raiders' defense has some major question marks, but adding the NFL's sack leader from last season would help.

According to a new rumor, an NFL executive called the Las Vegas Raiders "frontrunners" for Cincinnati Bengals star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson.

The Raiders have emerged as frontrunners to acquire Bengals star DE Trey Hendrickson amid his contract holdout in 2025.

“I have no doubt the Raiders are the frontrunners," an NFL executive told Carpenter. "Tom Brady and Mark Davis want to win now, and John (Spytek) has no fear when it comes to making bold moves. The kid (Hendrickson is 30), that move is the mentality of Pete Carroll; he’s not afraid of anything that could improve the team.”

According to a report, the Las Vegas Raiders are a potential suitor for Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson.

That said, there is one blockbuster trade the Raiders could pull off that would make the team even stronger. In fact, they are also being named the "frontrunners" for this trade.
